I bet you wouldn't get very many to show up for duty."

" 'Ruby Ridge' used to refer to a geographical location in the state of Idaho, but after an incident that took place there ten years ago today, the phrase has come to refer to a scandalous series of events that opened the eyes of many people to the inner workings of the federal government, including the vaunted Federal Bureau of Investigation. Now that ten years have passed, the feds will accelerate their ongoing effort to 'move forward' and have the scandal declared 'ancient history.' "

"A former Minneapolis police officer who admitted having sex with a 13-year-old can't be charged with soliciting because the girl's words and conduct led to the sexual activity, the Minnesota Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday."

"Koenig, who was fired by the Minneapolis Police Department in December, has said he didn't know the girls were juveniles." [A very 'mature' 13 year old, right?]

In Minneapolis only an officer can carry a firearm. Talk about double standards!

NYPD says more than half of their 24,000 Glocks "are subject to jam without warning"

"More than half of the Police Department's handguns are subject to jam without warning, a potentially dangerous flaw that can leave the weapons as 'useless as paperweights,' police sources said."

"Although the jamming is rare, the NYPD has been concerned enough to order a recall of 24,000 semiautomatic Glock handguns so they can be refitted."

"This problem affects the Glock Model 19S - the gun carried by about 60% of the department's 39,000 officers. The flaw, in which the shell casing fails to eject, has only arisen during practice and tests at the NYPD firing range, police officials say." [They worked fine against Amadou Diallo.]

"Our studies have shown this to be a rare occurrence," said police spokesman Chief Michael Collins. "In the worst-case scenario...we estimated that this has happened only once in 450,000 times when fired."

Glock sent people to New York to address the issue. See report for details.

"No one has a moral, civil or legal right to violate your person or property. Let them know you're not someone to be taken advantage of. Try to let the attacker know he's picked the wrong person to mess with," [Maj. Ed] Welch said.

"While passive resistance may sometimes be the best defense...many alternatives exist..."

"The goal is to hurt him enough to give yourself a chance to flee."

"Weapons were a brief topic...keys, pens, fingernail files, credit cards or small cans of mace..."

But, of course, not the most effective, most efficient, most affordable, most concealable and easiest to use self-defense device ever devised: the handgun.

Police were not there to prevent this. 911 could never have responded fast enough. No new laws would stop this. Questionable if extra police would help. We need militia citizen involvement and RKBA!
